Abilities & Attacks
Hit Points: 50 (death blaze) Echolocation 60 feet. A caligni vanguard can use their hearing as a precise sense at the listed range. Death Blaze. When the vanguard dies, their body combusts in a blaze of fire and armor shrapnel. All creatures within a 10-foot emanation take 3d6 fire damage and 3d6 piercing damage (DC 19 basic Reflex save). The vanguard's armor is destroyed in the blaze, but their other gear is unaffected and left in a pile where they died. Reactive Strike (reaction). Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike. Call to Arms (1 action) (auditory, mental). Each caligni within 30 feet of the vanguard gains the Reactive Strike reaction until the end of the vanguard's next turn. Once a caligni has used this Reactive Strike, that caligni is temporarily immune to the same vanguard's Call to Arms for 10 minutes. Shadowed Blade (2 actions) (darkness). The vanguard makes a melee Strike, channeling shadowy essence into their weapon or unarmed attack to envelop the target. If the Strike hits, the target must succeed at a DC 19 Fortitude save or become Blinded until the end of its next turn.
